Deportivo vs Betis prediction: teams form analysis, possible lineups on September 20, 2026

Deportivo vs Betis: team news and expert analysis
The club from La Coruña returned from the third tier in 2024 and, at the second attempt, became one of the Segunda Division's leading teams. After earning promotion to La Liga, they have been picking up points at a lively pace, primarily thanks to the goalscoring form of new signing Aubameyang. The veteran failed to score only against Sevilla, and that match ended in a 0-1 defeat.
The Seville-based team collected 60 points last season, finishing fifth. That earned the Spanish side a return to the Champions League, where they opened with a 3-2 win away to Lille. Their domestic campaign suffered a setback against Levante, losing 2-5, but they defeated all their other opponents. This week, they overcame Getafe, although their opponents did finish the match with ten men.
The newcomer has made a respectable start, scoring an average of 1.5 goals while conceding 1.17. Pellegrini's men are scoring 1.33 goals per game and conceding one, although a significant share of those goals came in the disastrous August match against Levante.
Previous matches: Deportivo vs Betis
